Transfer boost for David Moyes as £30m target Marco Reus gives Man Utd the thumbs up

TRANSFER BOOST: Mario Gotze says his former team-mate Marco Reus has always been keen on a move to Old Trafford [MANCHESTER UNITED]

The Manchester United boss has put the 24-year-old Borussia Dortmund midfielder on his summer shopping list.

Now it has emerged that Reus, valued at around £30m, is keen on a big-money move to Old Trafford at the end of the season.

“When I was at Borussia, Marco wanted a move to Manchester United and this hasn't changed”

Former Borussia team-mate Mario Gotze, who has since joined Bayern Munich, claims Reus has been plotting a move to United for ages and still wants to join them despite their dramatic fall from grace this year.

Gotze said: "When I was at Borussia, Marco wanted a move to Manchester United and this hasn't changed."

Moyes has been told he has unlimited funds to spend on re-building his team following a woeful first season in charge at Old Trafford.

Reus is one of his top targets and the United boss had him watched last weekend when he scored one and set-up another in Dortmund's shock 3-0 win over big rivals Bayern.
